How Do You Spell DAPPLED?

Pronunciation: [dˈapə͡ld] (IPA)

The word "dappled" is spelled with two "p's" due to the fact that the first syllable is pronounced with a short "a" sound and the second syllable is pronounced with a long "e" sound. In IPA phonetic transcription, the word is spelled /ˈdæpəld/. The letter "p" is used to represent the sound of a voiceless bilabial plosive, which is made by closing the lips and then releasing them to create a popping sound.

DAPPLED Meaning and Definition

1. Dappled is an adjective used to describe an object or surface that is covered in small, contrasting patches or spots, resulting in a mottled or speckled appearance. The term is often associated with the way light and shade create patterns of varying intensity on an object or within a particular environment.

   When referring to the natural world, dappled most commonly describes the pattern of sunlight filtering through the foliage of trees, creating a play of light and shadow on the ground or on surrounding surfaces, such as a dappled forest floor. This effect occurs when foliage partially obstructs the direct rays of the sun, casting intermittent shadows and allowing patches of sunlight to pass through, resulting in a mosaic-like pattern.

   In a more general sense, dappled can also refer to objects or surfaces featuring random spots or patches of contrasting colors or textures. For example, one might speak of a dappled horse with a coat marked by irregular spots of lighter or darker shades. Similarly, a dappled painting might incorporate varying colored specks or textured brushstrokes to create a dynamic and visually intriguing artwork.

   Overall, dappled is a term used to describe the visual effect of irregularly arranged spots or patterns, usually resulting from the interaction of light and shadows on an object or within a particular setting.

2. • Spotted of various colours; marked with spots.

   • To mark or variegate with spots.

The word "dappled" originated from Middle English and Old English. It can be traced back to the Old English word "dæppa", which means a spot or blotch.
